6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Ought to have coped much better with the soft ground when well beaten at Cartmel (2m6f) ten weeks ago but was runner-up on her two previous outings (both 3m2f, good; once here) and Sean Bowen is booked today. |
9/2 |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Effective on tight left-handed tracks having finished second at Stratford and Newton Abbot the last twice, not beaten far either time; those were over 3m2f but she's fine over this far. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
2m5f hurdle winner (soft) last December, when with Robert Walford; form then tailed off; back in better form for this trainer last month, equalling her best RPR when a close second over C&D (good); now needs to back that up and she's a player if able to do so. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won over fences 13 months ago but returned from layoff with lacklustre hurdle run in April and is difficult to enthuse over after that performance; has usual tongue-tie refitted; seems versatile ground-wise. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |

Won over fences at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) last March and returned from break with pleasing fourth over hurdles there (3m1f, good to soft) in November; absent for another 131 days since but won't be far away if in similar form again. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Just 1-17 over hurdles, the win gained at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last summer, but she made a satisfactory reappearance last month and her current mark is workable; considered each-way. |
13/2 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Opened account at Newton Abbot (2m6f, good) last July and runner-up in three of her four starts since, at up to 3m3f; on the premises on that evidence but the 163 days off ask a question. |
6/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Runner-up twice at Stratford (3m2f/2m6f) since holding on well to open account at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in July; evidently in good nick and won't mind if the ground softens; leading contender. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Placed twice at up to 2m4f on slow ground over hurdles; below par when last seen in that sphere at Warwick last December; has since had wind surgery and is on a competitive mark if he is able to produce his best on his chase debut. |
8/1 |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish maiden who made the frame in two handicaps (2m4f/2m5f) for Deborah Cole towards the end of last year; needs to find extra here but a recent wind op may help in that regard. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Went close in Newton Abbot novice hurdle (2m5f, good) for Paul Nicholls last summer but quickly became very disappointing for him; drying ground might aid his cause on today's stable/chase debut but he has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

11st 5lb |
Well beaten on his last three starts, the last two being his first handicaps (2m5f, soft); something to prove but he was second in a good-ground 2m5f novice hurdle at Newton Abbot last June, and the return to better ground may help; stamina in pedigree and with leading yard; no forlorn hope. |

Hasn't lived up to market expectations since switched to handicap hurdles; not bred for fences but he must be thought capable of better and this isn't strong; cheekpieces tried after one run in blinkers. |

Yet to play a serious part in four handicaps, despite being a short price for the latest two; interesting to see if his supporters keep the faith now blinkers are added; 8lb wrong. |

Lightly raced since Irish point win in 2021 and the comeback trail has yielded little as yet, pulled up on handicap debut here and finishing remote at Lingfield last month; has it to prove for now. |
